"President Liu, this is too risky. Do you know how many people are vying for the XM system? Our Liu Group has absolutely no advantage. Why did you agree to President Lü and the others?"
"Don't worry, I have a plan."
"President Liu, please stop keeping me in suspense and tell me what your solution is."
"You'll see when the time comes. I bet they've already started popping champagne at halftime."
"Mr. Liu, do you know the designer of the XM system? Is he willing to offer you a collaboration?"
"It's a secret; you'll find out in a couple of days."
"Okay, Mr. Liu, it's so mysterious."
"You can go out now, I need to work."
"Okay, Mr. Liu."
Two days later, the XM system co-creation launch conference jointly held by Su Group and Star Dream Lab officially began.
Early in the morning, Wang Xinghe led the researchers from Xingmeng Lab to the press conference venue.
"Mr. Wang, I heard it's going to be a big event today!"
"Of course it's a big event, don't embarrass me."
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, we will definitely not let you down. We are all people who have seen a lot."
"Director Qin, please hold on, you'll be facing questions from reporters soon."
"Don't worry, I'm ready."
They're here today to make money; they don't know how much these five usage rights will fetch at auction.
At the press conference, luxury cars gathered, and reporters with their cameras and microphones were already set up outside the Kyoto Gymnasium.
Today's press conference was approved in a short time thanks to Su Mu's connections, and it was held in the Kyoto Gymnasium, which shows its high profile.
I heard that some political and military leaders will be coming today, and they are all very interested in this system.
Guided by the staff, Wang Xinghe led his entourage to the backstage area, where a makeup artist was applying makeup to Su Muqing, and a secretary was reporting the details of the press conference to Su Muqing.
"Big sister, I'm here."
"Okay, where's Mengmeng?"
"Mengmeng shouldn't have arrived yet. Should we have her come to the backstage area when she does?"
"Otherwise what? I heard that there have been internal disagreements within the Liu Group recently. I'd like to ask what's going on."
"Okay, I'll call Mengmeng right now and ask her to come backstage."
Soon after, Liu Qingmeng arrived and went to the dressing room.
"Big sister, you were looking for me."
"Please sit down. I heard that something happened to the Liu family?"
"Yes, there was a slight internal problem, but it will be resolved soon."
"Tell me about it, and I'll give you some advice."
"Okay, big sister."
So Liu Qingmeng explained her plan to Su Muqing.
"Good heavens, Mengmeng, no wonder you wouldn't let me directly connect the XM system to the Liu Group. So that's what you were waiting for. These shareholders are doomed."
"Yes, that's true. Since they have ulterior motives towards you and are scheming against you in every way, why do you still lead them to make money? You've done a good job. In the business world, you can't be soft-hearted."
"Yes, eldest sister, this time I'm going to completely purge the Liu Group."
"Okay, after the press conference, Qingmeng, let's have our parents meet and talk about the marriage. It's time for you and Xinghe to get married."
Liu Qingmeng glanced at Wang Xinghe, thinking to herself, "He hasn't proposed to me yet," but she still said, "Ah, okay, big sister."
"Excuse me, is Chief Engineer Wang here?" a voice came from the doorway of the dressing room.
"Yes, it's me. What's wrong?"
"Our Commander Zhu would like to meet with you. I wonder if you are available now?"
"Big sister, I'll go take a look."
"Go."
Wang Xinghe followed the plainclothes soldier and went to a room next door.
"Chief Engineer Wang, Commander Zhu is inside. Please come in."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Wang Xinghe knocked on the door, and the person inside opened it for him.
When I opened the door, I was surprised to find Su Xuanyu there as well.
"Xinghe, you've arrived."
"Third sister, you're here too."
"Hahaha, you must be the youngest son of the Su family. Your older sister was afraid I would bully you, so she came along too." The one sitting in the middle must be Commander Zhu. Although he was laughing heartily, there was still an air of authority between his brows.
"Hello, Commander Zhu, this is me."
"The Su family truly produces many talented individuals!"
"Commander Zhu, I'm telling you, stop praising us. I know exactly what you're thinking. Just tell my brother about the benefits."
"Xuan Yu, what are you doing? I genuinely admire Xinghe!"
"Come on, they're all ancient foxes, still trying to play at Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio."
"You! Xuan Yu, how could you say that to me?"
“Brother, don’t listen to what Commander Zhu says. He’s known in the army as a smiling tiger who eats people without spitting out the bones. He wants to use your XM system for military production and war simulation. Your system is of great use to our army.”
“We’ve always used the Western system, and we didn’t dare use it to calculate many confidential things for fear of leaks. So you can just name your price.”
When Commander Zhu heard Su Xuanyu's words, his eyes went black. She had already revealed her true colors; how could he possibly negotiate a lower price now?
“Hey Xiao Wang, you know our army is poor. We’re so poor we can’t even afford to eat lately. Look at my soldiers, they’ve all suffered because of me. They’re all so thin, their chests are practically touching their backs.”
"No, Commander Zhu, are you used to complaining about being poor? My brother isn't a god of wealth. If you complain about being poor to my brother, will you get money?"
"Xuan Yu, you're killing me! Please stop sabotaging me!"
Watching the two of them perform their act so convincingly, Wang Xinghe was speechless. He had other things to do later.
"Third Sister, Commander Zhang, may I say something?"
Wang Xinghe spoke, and the two of them immediately stopped and looked at him.
"I can do it without money."
"That's wonderful! Xiao Wang, I knew you were a good comrade of the Party and the people, and you have a heart full of patriotism! Our motherland needs talents like you!"
“However, I haven’t finished yet, Commander Zhu.”
"Tell me! As long as it's free, we're all set!"
"What a miser, not a penny spared. Xinghe, you should extort a lot of money from this kind of person."
"Xuan Yu, what are you doing! Our Xinghe is the real comrade, with high ideological awareness! Xinghe, just say it, but what is it?"
"I need your protection."
"No problem, is that all you require?"
"Yes, all you need to do is protect us."
"Don't worry, Xinghe, I guarantee that with our protection, not even a fly from outside will be able to get in!"
"Let's talk in detail after the press conference. I have to go to the press conference now."
"Alright, Xiao Zhang, go see Chief Engineer Wang off!" Commander Zhu said to his bodyguard.
